CF A tentatively cuts fee allocations
: ? r' By Bob Lannin
The University Health Center's budget presentation
and ASUN's tentative allocation were discussed Thursday
at a meeting of the Committee for Fees Allocation.
Dr. Garland Bare, health center medical director, and
Stephen Blom, administrator, presented the center's re
quest for $1,34200 in student fees, an Increase of
$ 1 65 ,050 over last year's allocation.
Alter considerable discussion and questioning, com
mittee member Denise Schlake moved to tentatively
allocate $1,181,7?5 to the health center. Her motion
passed by a 10-1 vote.
The committee asked the health center officials to look
into the feasibility of installing some of the recommendat
ions of the Chancellor's ad hoc Fund B study group.
Bare said the group's recommendations included charg
ing a $5 user fee for special services offered by the center,
such as the dental clinic. 1
Decrease in student use
"If we charged $5 per student, we would generate only
abbut $3 in per student income,' Bare said, indicating
there would be a decrease in the number of students using
these services and thai there would be additional costs in
volved in recording the user fees.
Bare said the user fees would probably raise at maxi
mum a $20,000-530,000 in additional income.
The study group also recommended that hospital and
after-hours service of the health center be cut. Bare said
this would make the center "an eight-hour a day center"
and little more than a "band-aid station."
Dr. .Bare said cutting the hospital and after-hours
service would delay raising student fees but would not
save students in over all health costs, since students would
have to pay more at Lincoln hospitals for. health services.
The possibility exists the health center could have its
accreditation revoked if these programs were cut, Bare
said. '
Recording costs
The study group recommended the center study how
many times each student uses the center, to find if over
use of the center by a few students exists. Bare said it
would require another full-time office person to record
these statistics and in the end would not cut costs.
A report presented by the health center with their re
quest said a survey taken last week of about 300 students
snowed they would support a $3 to $4 fee increase for
student health services.
Committee member Tom Beyer voted against the
tentative allocation, saying he felt the health center was
the "cheapest medicnl bargain in town" and "too good of
a medical bargain " . '
:jtudet$!d-fher?etail mtnas(nr fees) tharr
seg the "cuts," Beyer said.
, Bare said the center would appeal the allocation adding
he wal very disappointed about the pressure to keep
cutting costs.
ASUN fee proposals
The committee then moved into further discussion on
the ASUN tentative fee allocation and on ASUN vice .
presidents' salaries.
Because the committee's by-laws state motions require
a majority of voting members present, ASUN'S first ten
tative allocation did not stand.
Committee member Doug Brenner moved to allocate
ASUN their requested amount of $39,502. .
Committee member Nathan Wesley objected to the
proposal, saying he felt completely justified to cut salaries
of the first and second vice presidents.
ASUN President Ken Marienau said by cutting salaries
they were "catering to the rich" and discriminating
against the kind of people who can run for execurive
offices.
"Are we trying to put people in debt to serve in stu
dent government?" Marienau asked.
Marienau also compared paying Daily Nebraska
reporters to paying student government executives and
called the marketable skills argument "a weak one at
best."
Quality without costs
Committee member Rocky Yapp said the committee
believed ASUN could still get quality candidates without
monetary compensation.
Beyer -also said there were , other means of support
throUgh school such as grants-and' loans and that they
"can't expect an ASUN salary to put them through
school."
Brenner's motion to allocate ASUN $39,502 failed by
a 2-7 vote with two abstentions.
Hie committee later passed a motion to allocate ASUN
$38,102, cutting the vice president's salaries in half to
$700 per year, by a 64 Vote with one abstention.
In other action, the committee passed unanimously a
motion to tentatively allocate the Nebraska Unions
$575,000, with the committee's endorsement for the
unions to further pursue putting the bookstore and vend
ing operations under Union management.
